Two nearby houses have been for sale for a month or two. The first one put up for sale was significantly smaller and I think the owner accepted an offer after a week and a half, but then the prospective buyers realized they were paying far too much.

As I keep saying, the average house in Show Low has consistently sold for $125 per square foot for at least a year, but she wants $193. From the pictures it looks like all that she did was replace the carpet with laminate and ruin the landscaping, but she is asking 10% more than a fully-remodeled house that sold last year.

I happened to reread the description: "Completely remodeled," "New flooring, new paint, and fixtures."

The flooring is laminate and nobody should be impressed. Paint isn't a big deal and hers certainly isn't impressive. Fixtures?

The house just looks clean and I would have believed that everything was original if I didn't know that carpet was far more popular when the house was built, but laminate is vastly more common now.

I wonder how many times I have looked at allegedly-remodeled houses on-line and thought that everything was decades old.

If you cannot tell that a house was remodeled, did they cheap out, or just do a poor job?
